I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.

This is my alternative. Still getting used to it. Hi everyone!

Not used Reddit for a while now ^^ Just a couple subs I miss but most things are here on Lemmy now

I still dip in to Reddit, but about 75% less than before. As more Lemmy content becomes available, I expect that to further diminish.

I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.

As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

On Lemmy you can edit your post titles.

Not Lenny!

I don’t trust anyone named Lenny. Lemmy is cool though

Already did. Now I only visit Reddit to check out some niche communities that are not on Lemmy yet.

Already did. Purged all my Reddit bookmarks and account.

Generally: You have to be the change you want to see in the world. If you want to change others, change yourself first. I don’t think the mindset “I need to reach that big number of people over there so I’ll just be over there as well to teach them” works, or leads to the goal you want. Even though it seems reasonable at first glance. This mindset just leads to you giving the other people AND yourself more reason to never leave from there. Which is contrary to what you want. If you want others to switch to better alternatives, move yourself first, help grow the alternatives, and they will sooner or later also become interested in joining. Things like the latest Reddit and Twitter fiascos also show that no huge proprietary social media platform rules forever. The time to change to better alternatives has never been better than now.

No, I’m replacing it with Lemmy.

I love Lenny!

Yep. When RIF died, Reddit was dead to me. I refuse to give the owners of Reddit the satisfaction of me switching to their app.

I’m also slowly pushing myself from Twitter to Mastodon. Hoping more of the accounts I follow on Twitter make the switch too.

The only time I’d use Reddit now is if I had a specific question about a specific topic that’s only covered there.

As far as browsing for fun goes it’s Lemmy all the way, it’s so much nicer than Reddit.

Trying to. This is a FANTASTIC tool to find new “subreddits” on Lemmy: https://sub.rehab/
